Dream Log: 13JUL2014, Battle Crabs

I was woken up by my son, telling me there was a tick in his room. I found the tick and put it in the sink.

I went back to bed, and fell asleep. In my dream, it was the early
80s, and I was a kid visiting with a friend of mine, although I don’t
recall who my friend was. The decor was long-pile beige rug, blocky
brown couches. Analog TV on a small TV stand. We were playing the living
room, and it was brightly lit; I think there was a sliding glass door
and lots of windows.

On a tray in the middle of the room were several small crab-like
creatures. It felt like we were playing with collector toys, but these
were living things. I was reminded of the idea of bonsai, except these
“battle crabs” looked like miniature mountains. There were 4 of them,
and the last 2 were wearing white armor, which also resembled
snow-covered peaks. The largest on the end looked like Mount Rainier, in
Washington State.
